Special to The Negro Star:— Please allow me space to say we are glad to say that our church is now putting on new life under the direction of our new pastor Rev. A. L. Branch of McAlister, Okla. Although the weather was cold last Sunday we had a g'orious service all day. Sunday School was fine with Bro. E. Crith as superintendent, quite an efficient Christian gentleman. At 11:00 o'clock our new pastor, Rev. A. L. Branch took the stand and preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject: "A Call to Service." Many souls were made to rejoice and feel glad from that sermon. At the close of the sermon the officers raised $12.25. B. Y. P. U. at 7:00 p. m. Brother J. S. Massey, President. New Hope B.

At 8:00 o'clock the pastor took the stand and preached from the subject: "A false and true report, but this land is all right." Num. 14:7,8; and how our hearts burned within us as the God man spoke. At the close of the sermon, three were added to the church. We feel proud to say that we feel that we have the right man in the right place; and we owe all to God. We humbly ask interest in your prayers. Yours for the Master's Cause, Mrs. M. G. Glover, reporter. G. L. A. Club Meeting. The members of the G. L. A. met on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Ora Carter.

Neely ARE YOU AWARE? ```markdown ``` That it is mighty fine to be kind stable? At our best we are so subjected to misunderstanding and are so liable to misunderstand that it chooves us to put in all our time toward controlling ourselves. That pupils express themselves in lowing terms about their teachers? I went to the Palace the other night and saw 'Old Lady So-and-So' there." Evidently the "old lady" at some time did a physical impression upon him. That self control is the greatest as set in one's life? That after they have been here a few days longer; we hope to have something of shaking interest about losses Strawn, Martin and Jones. And Miss Vincent need not be resigned in the thought that she lives too far away, we'll get something afterwhile? That Rev. Hayes was a visitor m L'Ouverture School Thursday? That it pays in many ways to possess it all times a clear conscience? However, there are times when conscience, that native God in man which determines right and wrong in him, does not respond. A little illustration will show us just how it is possible to commit a wrong and yet our God-part will not resist the oppression. A few days ago I was repairing a rock whose bo t failed to respond or catch, when shut. Upon examination I found that because of its longevity in service and continued abuse the man's prong had been sprained, weakened, ad lost its temper or resisting power, therefore when the t'ime came for t to function it failed to respond because of its long years of abusive use. That an individual who has allowed himself to drift down to this deplorable depth has only one place of refuge to which he should hasten and that is the power-house and source of our being? In other words, thus our regaining proximity to God and connecting up with the power-house, requickening will regain possession and consciousness of wrongs will beOUND actuating our life. That I've been trying to settle on something I heard the other week? Let's-sek-Oh-I remember, a certain one of our very proficient teachers on he Douglass Staff made a recent discovery? At this wrtig, we are not et supplied with a publishable formula of the chemicals this wonderful discoverer employed in this discovery, but I think this is it--he found after many weeks of close observation and I suppose many numerous tests that HONEY(gan) is sweet. Guess who it is. That especially do I wish to congratulate the President of Wichita Negro Business League, and also our worthy "Y" Secretary, who are endeavoring to propagate such tangible business ideas that will make for the betterment of the race? But Mr. President and Mr. Secretary, these organizations will come to naught as any others have unless a lot of that superfluous point raising and useless technicalities are abandoned. Weave some men in our group who will kill any game that they are not refereeing. I say that until we get to the place where we can see worth in some other man and respect and support him then right, we are not ready for this civilization. Let's make it personal. Am I ready for this civilization? Join the "Are You Aware?" Staff and boost The Star. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 1922. AFTER THRIFT WEEK, WHAT? The Thrift Program, as recently put over by the Water Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., was one of the most tangible as well as far-reaching Supplementary educational ideas that has ever been attempted. The topics discussed each day go to the real bone and sinew of Racial development. However, if it is to be only a "Stunt Program," its reaction will fall far short. However, the Ministerial League and the Federated Clubs, have both gone on record as favoring some method of conserving to the community and for the community, the values of the program. This will be done, both by personal work, Mass gatherings, and lectures for the sustaining need of the race is the cultivation of the Thrift Idea. Work More! Make More! Save More! Give More! Y. M. C. A. Notes. Mr. A. A. Hyde Addresses Our Group on Christian Stewardship. "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth," admonished Mr. Hyde, in an address at St. Paul A. M. E. Church on last Sunday. This meeting was held under the auspices of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., as a part of its Thrift Program. The subject for the day was, "Sharing With Others." Mr. Hyde had a very impressive message, backed by an example that can well be emulated. Mr. Hyde is a very keen student of the Bible. He re-inforced his message with Scriptural References. He expressed a deep plea for a more reliable response to Christian Stewardship. Come again Mr. Hyde, you are welcome. Rev. J. K. Ransom made a very fine response. He was chairman of committee in charge. St. Paul Notes. The sermon announced for last Sunday evening by Rev. Ransom on "Christians Watched," which was postponed on account of the memorial service to Col. Young, will be preached Sunday evening. In the evening his subject will be on "The Simplicity of the Gospel." There will be special music by the choir both morning and evening. The Sunday School and especially the adult Bible class, to which both women and men are cordially invited, is becoming larger and more interesting every Sunday morning. On Monday evening Miss Forestine Neal, the eminent virtuoso of Chicago, will give a splendid program of vocal selections, assisted by some of Wichita's best local talent. This recital is under the auspices of the choir for the pipe organ fund. All people interested is music and it's influences upon the hearts of saints and sinners, cannot afford to miss these rare opportunities, especially during "music week." On Wednesday evening the church is called for a conference at which time matters of vital importance will be attended to and also the election of trustees will be held.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and, behold a great red dragon and having heads and ten hornes, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his toil drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the women which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born," subject: "Two great wonders in heaven." The sermon was an inspiration to all true Christians. It showed how impossible it was for a Christian to fail as long as he permitted Christ to lead. The sermon went on to show that unless a person be born again although he may have his name upon the Church Book, he is no part of the church no more then satan was a part of God; Brother and sister, if you have not been born again you are no part of the church."

R, Ross seems to have his whole heart and soul in the work and with co-operation of other Chris- tians, there’s no doubt but what souls will be ecved. There’s no doubt but what many te-blooded Negroes with self-pridy and principie, have been made to shudder and been made ashamed of that he was a Negro by actions of low, degraded Negroes in some publ'e places; but when we mt under the sound of voices and sce the talents cf some of our young Christian Negro-a then is the real time that one’s mind runs back and is made to feel esham- ed and sorry for the low, degrad=I Negro. To sit and listen to a pro- gram such as was rendered Jan. 22, at the 2nd Baptist Church, St brings out the fact that the Negro Is ameng the most ta’ened peorle in the world. This program presented the fact to those present that Junction City, por- fesses two Negro women, beth young women that the entire Negro race can be proud of in the persons of Mrs, {Ralph Devey and Mrs. Thos, Smith. Mrs, Davey used the picture of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ with children of a'l nat'onal ties gathered around Him; the Negro child at His feet, for a demonstretion and delivcr- ed a piano dialogue that coud not be beat by anv woman in the world re- es of erced or color.

She made the demonstration as plain as day.

The Tongue rules the life to a large extent. It sets fire to every evil impulse of our nature. It gives flame to those things which are smoldering in our minds. It furnishes the sting for every vindicative idea we have and gives expression to the good or the bad we have within. What a pity that it can not always be used to express only those things which are noble, the highest and best ideals of life, which our Master wou'd have us give forth. Inconsistency is one of the worst sins of the tongue. With the same tongue we both bless and curse a thing, that is consistent in the extreme. Both sweet and bitter water do not come from the same fountain; and the same is true with the reference to the tongue, if our logic is correct; we may deceive our Father in Heaven Who knows the thoughts and intents of the heart. Many sins of the tongue com from the base sin of impatience. We can not do anything but wait; so we have to say something and usually it isn't anything worth saying either. More often it is a cures or a by-word which doesn't say anything but merely gives expression to our impatience which shows lack of balance. If we must say something, it would be just as effective to let off steam by some harmless word as it is to use the name of GOD in vain. A minister heard a church member swear the other day, a real curse word, "too," of course he apologized but that did not remove the proof that profanity is his habit when provoked. Fo'l's don't swear just once a year; they are accustomed to it or they wouldn't do it so easily; Christians, above all others ought to fight and pray against this miserable sin for there are altogether too many of them who fail, prey to it. They may learn it from others, but they are responsible for it. While lies, often the beginning of habits that result in black ones. Many a person has thought it necessary to resort to little fabs in order to appear pleasant or to observe the social amity only to slip by easy stages into big falsehoods. If you can not say a thing and mean it, keep still and smile. It isn't necessary to say something you do not mean, nor produce, just to appear polite. Truthfulness is a foundation virtue. If a man's word is not to be trusted, his whole character is unreliable. Our section this evenngl. is "Reliable." Every member's character can be trusted. Solo, teacher of T.T., Mrs. D. H. Hill.

It is always poor policy to go about trying to find al. the disconcerting things along the pathway of life. Those which are of sufficient importance to command one's attention are sure to bob up without a search. Never meet trouble until trouble meets you. If it's going to overtake you, it'll do so soon enough. It is always good policy to be prepared for difficulties in order that they may easily be overcome. But to be prepared does not mean that one must constantly go about with things on his fingers so that he may not forget any of the problems which are likely to bob up. Near'y all the stumbling blocks along the trail followed by humans in this world are imaginary. But for their wil ingness to admit that they face serious problems, most of the discontented would hardly know that they are battling against odds when they actually are. Iola, Kansas News. Sunday, January 15, Sunday School at 10:00 o'clock Bro. A. L. Sm.th. Superintendent; lesson Elijah's Challenge to Baai Worship. 11:00 o'clock, devotionals led by Deacon C. Williams. 11:30 preaching. The choir sang, "What a friend we have in Jesus?" Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. W. Buchanan. Pastor chose for his text, "Elijah's Challenge to Baal Worship." Theme: "Keep up your guard." Rev. Stevens very eloquently pictured to us how easily satan ended the knock-out blow by catching us when our guard was down. He took the pugilist in the ring as the Christians and satan and very vividly pictured the wonderful success is ours when our guard is kept up by being watchful and on the alert to ward off satan's blows. It was indeed light to those in darkness and cause the strong to rejoice in their faith and hope. The B. Y. P., U., was well attended and the interest is steadily on the increase. Sunday evening pastor's text: "If the righteous barely escape, where will the ungodly end sinner appear?" Many wonderful thoughts were bro't home to the unsaved and the Christians greatly encouraged to keep on the upward way. Tuesday evening, Jan. 17th, W. H & F. M. Circ e met with Bro. and Sater Crawford Williams on So. Walnut St. Meeting was opened by President, Mrs. Gordon; at this time, she asked our Vice Pres. Mrs. L. D. Stevens to take the chair and we must say although Mrs. Stevens is quite young in the work and has only been a minister's wife a short time, she presides with honor to the circle and credit to herself. After the routine of business a very interesting program was rendered and a topic discussed, subject: "Repentance." Many beautiful points were brought out by our Vice President Mrs. L. D Stevens who opened the topic. Rev. J. W. Gordon of Richmond, Mv, was with us and in his masterful, and scho'arly way, led us to the light of real repentance. Come again Rev. We are always pleased to have you with us. Rev. Stevens our pastor, in his eloquent and dignified manner, spoke very forcefully to us on the subject. Visitors were:—Rev. J. W. Gordon, Mrs. Fawn Wright, Mrs. Welsie Davis, Misses Naoml Grubbs, Lillian and Fav Lane, Mrs. H. Bailey, Mr. Robert Hallstock. The hostess assisted by Mrs. Belley and Miss Grubbs and Master Walter Williams, waiters served a very pretty 3 course luncheon; 20 present. SIMS' B. Y. P. U. RECORD IS NOW READY-SEND $1.

THE right of the individual of the grace is not superior to the great demand of his race to rise when history shows that the trend of the individual opinion within the race due to a period of slavery during which it was the policy of an oppressing horde of masters to subvert that individual power of thought and turn it against itself and race still clings; to the dereliment of the rapid progress of the race as a whole. The era of progressive civilization has never recognized the superiority of the individual mind over the final conclusion of collective thought.

THE death of Colonel Charles Young recently in Liberia, has removed from the ranks of the United States Army one of the most gentlemanly soldiers and firm disciplinarians that the colored race has ever produced to hold high rank in the military forces of the country. Born in Kentucky and entering West Point, from that State after having passed a competitive examination; he early showed indications of that keen apprehensive yet analytice mind which was to make him a factor in the military affairs of the country. After graduating with honors he was assigned to various commands and had a part in a number of military operations both in this country and abroad. Col. Young was retired from active service just prior to the entry of the United States in to the Word War over his protest and with the highest rank ever held by a Negro in the regular army of the country. Had he have been allowed to continue in active service without doubt he would have been America's first general from the Negro race. Aside from being a soldier of the highest type, Col. Young a so was noted for his loyal devotion to the Church and warm efforts to promote the best interests of his race in civic affairs. At the time of his death he was serving as military attache to the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia; and like a brave knight of old with the heroic glory of a mighty warrior he fell at his post of duty. M. A. received climax in Community Thrift Meeting Sunday. Sunday at 5:00 p.m. a representative group including the bai as, professional and abbreviating people gathered at St. Paul A. M. L. Church to obsolete "Share with others" Day of National Thrift Week. The meeting opened by a gentle song service conducted by E. M. Barnes. W. L. Hutcherson as the chose of the singing made a brief talk touching on various phases of the week's program and activities and introduced Mr. W. A. Hyde. Mr. Hyde, who is noted for his great generosity and benevolence throughout the country, he led his hearers while he resented logical Gospel facts in favor of a religion recognizing the vital importance of sharing with others as a Christian duty. He related some incidents in his own life which had enabled him to catch a broad vision of service to humanity as the great force to promote world salvation on the basis of love extended to our neighbors abroad and at home. At the close of Mr. Hyde's address Reverends J. R. Ransom, E. T. Fishback and others made brief talks commending Thrift Week activities and Hyde's Christlike attitude towards the Colored "Y" The meeting was in charge of the pastors of the city, headed by Re/ J. R.

"Ellijah's Flight and Return" was the enjoyable lesson studied and taught Sunday at nine-thirty in Sunday School. This interesting narrative awakened a new interest in Bible study. A good-sized congregation hall assembled at eleven a.m., Sunday, to worship the only true God, when, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback one of the most excellent sermons it has been our privilege to hear. Scripture lesson, text and subject, follows: Eph. 5:1-6; John 24:14,15; "The Place of Joshua's Crown of Glory, Where and Why?" You miss a rare treat when not attending the B. Y. P. U. The rendition of excellent programs as well as advance work in Bible study, compels good attendance. The Sunday evening worship found a truly waiting congregation. Our nister delivered another uplifting, searching, comforting sermon. The children of God rejoiced in the God of their salvation. Sinners trembled at their "guilty distance." Rev. J. H. VanLeu did a worthy work for New Hope during our revival. Many happy souls have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. May the good work go on. Mrs Kitty Walker has been ill recently; she came from Arkansas City, to reside with her sister, Mrs. Leila Walker. Mrs. Estel a Estel' was seriously ill last week. She is improving. Mrs. Rena Norwood was ill last week. She is somewhat better. William H. Taylor was on the sick list, recently. He has recovered. New Hope sympathizes with Capt. and Mrs. W. L. Hutcherson in this their hour of bereavement. Mrs. Hutcherson's father, Mr. Frank Walden, died in Denville, Ill. Sunday, Jan 15th at 10.50 a.m. "To live in the hearts of those welee behind us is not to die." Mrs. Pinkie Bell's father cont nues to improve. A niece of Mrs. T. P. Walker underwent a minor operation in a local hospital a few days ago. We have mentioned in these columnn that Mrs. W. L. Hutcherson had been called to Danville, Ill., on account of the illness of her father. She was at the bed side when the end came. Mrs. Ruby Tines, who has been quite ill at her home in Virginia is much better. January sixteenth, Mrs. E. T. Fishback, our minister's wife received a message saying: that her auntie. Mrs. Julia Dent of Indianapolis, Ind., had suffered a paralytic stroke. Mrs. Fishback went to Indianapolis, immediately. The friends of our pastor and wife will be sad to know that Mrs. Dent, passed away Saturday, Jan. twenty-first at 3 p.m. Mrs. Dent reared Mrs. Fishback from the age of eight years. To our pastor and his wife— Wear our garments. Weep not for her, Be brave, be true; She'd not prefer To come to you. Her work is done. She"ll die no more." St. Mary Baptist.
